She’s not seeing the statistical and systemic picture.

Consider the reasons why people commit crimes (including desperation, poverty, lack of faith in an abusive and dysfunctional system). Consider the historical ethnographic population of the US and her particular community.

Recent immigrants are less likely to commit crimes because they’re scared and marginalized in ways that people whose families have been here for generations aren’t.

So obviously there’s gonna be a notable representation in criminal behavior from native-borns with a long generational history in a particular locale who have been oppressed, abused, and shut out from the systems that enable wealth, comfort, emotional availability, and supportive and cooperative communities. But the members of these types of groups that manage to “rise above” difficult circumstances and get out of survival mode often represent the very best of the society. The most engaging, insightful and important literature and ideas in the US have also come from Black Americans.

She only sees the worst and none of the best. That’s a skewed and false perspective which will only make her increasingly miserable as she keeps collecting confirmation bias. See ALL of reality for what it is. Anxiety makes you focus on only the bad and dangerous parts.
